Equipment
2-liter BMW M12 engine, 300hp, 5-speed Hewland crash box transaxle, Tramont 4-spoke modular wheels, Eagle slicks.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
One of a series built by Jorg Obermoser based upon chassis from Jo Marquart's GRD and its successor Modus with sleek bodywork designed by Achim Storz. This Toj was re-engineered by its first owner Bernard Chamberod for hillclimb events, achieving a series of wins through the early 90s and FFSA Montagne championships. Freshly and quickly repainted and liveried with occasionally wrinkled vinyl graphics. Orderly chassis and engine compartment.
Market commentary
Offered by Bonhams at Quail Lodge last August where it was reported bid to $165,000 it fell upon deaf ears here in Amelia. There were three Tojs offered at Artcurial's Retromobile auction a month ago and none of them found favor with the bidders. The Toj story is intriguing, but is obscure and exposure except in historic racing where they're just another shingle sports racer is not riveting attention. A hard sell that came up way short here and needs more wonderful historic races to realize its potential
